A popular yoga exercise, the Surya Namaskar, meaning "sun salutation," is so-called because of the adopted position of the person performing it. With the back arched and head tilted upwards, it looks like someone saluting the sun. Without stretching a muscle or making an effort, you can salute the sun on a daily basis every time you glance toward baby Surya. A boy's name of Hindi origin, Surya has the meaning of "sun," guaranteeing your little one a bright outlook and sunny disposition.
